Inspiring Ceremony Takes Place at
Camp Sevier
Camp Sevier, Greenville, June 17.
Five soldiers of German birth were
loudly cheered by a, vast assemblage
of soldiers as they renounced'the sov
ereignty of Kaiser Wilhelm, and
swore fidelity forever to the United
States and the Stars and Stripes Fri
day morning at the natukralization
ceremony at the Liberty Theatre at
this camp. Exactly 723 soldiers of
foreign birth, representing virtually
all the nations of Europe, took the
oaths of renunciation of the sovereign
of their native. lands, and of alleg
iance to the United States, were
awarded certificates of citizenship,
and are now full-fledged American
citizens.
The ceremony was one of the most
impressive and inspiring ever seen at
this camp. It was presided over by
Brig. Gen. George W. McIver, acting
commander of the 81st division in the
absence of Major Gen. Bailey. Judge
Joseph T. Johnson, of the federal
court, examined the candidates and
ladministered the oaths. Short talks
to the new citizens were made by Gen.
IMelver and Judge Johnson, and musi
"cal selections were renderel by the
324th Infantry Band. National and
regimental colors were present under
guard, and escorted by a provisional
company of 100 men from each or
ganization.
Division staff officers of the 81st
division occupied the stage, back of
which was draped a huge American
flag. An improvised orchestra, made
'up of soldiers of I Alian descent from
the provisional delot brigade, fur
nished some stirring musical selec
tions.

MR. COBB QUITS THE RACE
Leaves Brantley, 3lcLeod and Tim
merman Opposing Lever
Columbia, June 17.-Wade Hamp
ton Cobb, solicitor of Fifth Judicial
District, tonight announced his with
drawal from the race for Congress
from the Seventh District. In a state
nent issued he declared that he takes
this action because o- the President's
expressed wish. that Air. Lever be re
turned. Mr. Cobb said in part: I
"Mr. Lever has been in the House
nearly sixteen years, and- is now
chairman of the committee on agricul
ture and in a position, where by reas
on on his experience, he can be of im
mense value to the country. By reason
of this position, and his experience
he can do more than any new member
from any district could do at this par
ticular time. Congress is now in ses
sion and he cannot weil afford to be
absent to make a canvass of the dis
trict. Our great President has said
f >r the reasons, Mr. Lever should re
main in Congess. Under ordinary cir
,cumnsta"nces this would be an unreas
onable request-and in my judgment
would not be made by Mr. Wilson
'but these are extraordinary times. In
his last address to Congress, the Pres
ident said: 'These are days when duty
stands stark and nake:s and even with
c~os-d eyes we know it is there.' "
Mr. Cobb's withdrawal leaves Mr.
Lever with only three opponents,
Thomas G. McLeod, Thomas F. Brant
ley and Geo. Bell Timmerman.

TIIitIFT' AND ECONOMY
Only one thing is now of real im
portance, and that the winning of the
war.
Th. nation's resources in man-pow
er, money, transportation, foodstuffs,
raw materials and fuel have already
been subjected to heavy strains, and
it is the clear duty of every citizen
to guard against increasing this strain
by a single wasteful act.
It is most creditable for everyone
--man and wo, boy and girl-to
be economical in dress, food andi man
ner of living. Every evidence of self
denial ona the part of all in a time like
tis is most commendable.
Thistwar is more than a conflict
etenarmies. It is a contes t in
which every man, woman and child
can and should render real assistance.
Thrift and economy are not only a pa
rio'tic privilege. They constitute a
national duty.
